I see a:

compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.0.0

Don't tell me my 9600 isn't supported by the radeon driver?...
also, there's this interesting section that I'm having trouble understanding:

(II) RADEON(0): [drm] created "radeon" driver at busid "pci:0000:01:00.0"
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xe13b2000

(EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize. Disabling the DRI.
(II) RADEON(0): [agp] You may want to make sure the agpgart kernel module
is loaded before the radeon kernel module.
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xe13b2000 at 0xb7f07000
but agpgart and radeon are both "compiled in" to the kernel.
I heard something about the RV350 or RV300 (not sure) chipset not being
supported - is this true?
thanks,
